Job Searching

The WorkPlace Group offers employment services to assist in preparing for, obtaining and keeping a job. These services may consist of an employment needs assessment, the development of a Return to Work Plan, individual employment consulting, advice about job loss, retraining and education, job search techniques, labour market information, job placement services, and on-the-job follow up.

Employment Consulting

Employment Consultants assist people in finding and keeping employment. Clients are assisted to identify their employment strengths and challenges. They will create a step by step "Return To Work Action Plan", and will receive continued support to ensure successful long-term employment.

Job Placement

For clients that have difficulty with an independent job search, we provide additional supports through our Job Placement team. Our team may find or develop employment and assist in job negotiations or workplace modifications that will lead to continued success on the job.

Additional services:

Identifying and clarifying interests, abilities, skills, and education in relation to short and long-term career goals

Exploring training requirements

Facilitating skills that support successful employment

Job search tools such as resumes, interviews, job search strategies

On-the-job training opportunities

Placement support in resolving workplace issues to ensure a successful match

Job Retention

This support is available when continued employment is unlikely without further assistance. Eligible individuals can expect support and mentoring to promote long-term employment based on developing experience, workplace skills, capabilities and confidence.
